WASHINGTON (WNS) - After completing two days of talks with King Hussein of Jordan. President Carter told newsmen April 26 that it would be better not to hold a Geneva conference this year if. there were no assurances of a Middle East peace settlement.

Ku Klux Klan Found In Rockaway

NEW YORK, (JTA) - Leader of Far Rockaway's Jewish community said April. .21 that they were caught <jqjHpletely" by. sur¬ prise by the disclosure of the existence of a Ku Klux Klan chapter in the Rockaways, made by the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation League April 20.
Officials of the predominantly- Orthodox, middle-class community of 35-40,000 told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that they did not feel "menced" by the presence of the racist organization in their vicinity.
But they said they were angry that the ADL had failed to inform or consult with the local community, which includes four B'nai B'rith lodges, about its in¬ vestigation before the story broke in the New York Post. Sidney Lipstein, president of. the Jewish Community Council of Far Rockaway, said he had expressed a "strong protest" to Howard Weinstein, New - York regional director of the ADL.
The Rockaways comprise a seashore peninsula in the. borough of Queens with an' overall population of about ■ 144,000. Jewish sources estimated that as much as 8 per cent of the poplulation is Jewish but Jews are now concentrated at the eastern end of the peninsula, near' the Nassau County line.
Irwin Suall, director of the Domestic • Fact-Finding Department of the B'nai B'rith Ant£Defamation League, told the ,'Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the ADL had "good, sound reasons", for not informing
the Jewish community in Far Rockaway in advance of its investigation that Ku Klux Klan chapter was active in the Rockaways.
But he explained that if the ADL had gone-to .the com¬ munity first it would have jeopardized its probe of the racist KKK in the Rockaways which, he said, is only part of a national round-up of Klan activities now being prepared by the ADL.. '
Suall said the local
. community, would have
asked for a discussion of the
effects of the disclosure on the reputation of the Rockaways and would have debated whether or not it should be made public. Suall said the ADL and the Far ■Rockaways. community looked at the issue from different points of view. The community is un¬ derstandably anxious to preserve itself and stem the flight of Jews to otherareas. The ADL, Suall said, is primarily concerned with exposing anti-Semitic organizations such as the

Center Stage Will light Up' Beginning This Saturday Night
"Light Up the Sky," Moss Hart's Broadway hit comedy about show business, will open on the Gallery Players' stage1 at The Jewish Center, 1125 College Ave., on Saturday eveningrMay 7.
Performances will also be shown on May 8,10,11,12,14 and 15. This is the laugh hit that.tells a behind-the-scenes : story of what goes on when the greasepaint comes off.
Called "comedy
dynamite" by a N.Y. Mirror reviewer, .'.'Light Up the Sky" shows what happens to an idealistic young playwright at the hands of a group of exhibitipnistic and emotional show people who undertake to turn his poetic play from a $300,000 flop into a Broadway gold mine.
Joe Hietter will be seen as ■ the lowbrow producer who's gone in for the'higher art and Linda Wasserstrom will play his ice-skating wife. Lil Strouss .will- portray the unpredictable star who does as much performing off¬
stage as on, Roger A. Masten will play a whining director and Irene B'raverman will be seen as the star's gin-rummy playing stage mother.
Others in~ the Gallery Players' cast include George .Cappell, Jfm Nelson, Larry Samuels and Joan Twiss. The production has been directed by Harold M. Eisenstein and the setting, the Ritz Carlton suite in Boston of the leading lady, has, been designed by Herb Snouffer.
Few dramatists are more familiar with, the foibles and temperments of Broadway than Moss Hart, author of "Ught Up the Sky." Hart will be remembered as the co-author, with George S. Kaufman, of such other smash hits as "The Man Who Came to Dinner,"'"George Washington Slept Here" and "You Can't Take It With You."

pessimistic" than before Hussein's visit.
However, he warned, "To raise expectations too high, I think would be potentially very damaging." He said ■ that after his meetings with, all Middle Eastern leaders "we will have a much clearer conpept of what can be done."
The Hussein visit followed meetings here with-Israeli Premier Yitzhak Rabin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Carter is scheduled to meet Syrian President Hafez Assad in Geneva-May 9 and Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Fahd May 25 in Washington. In addition, it was an¬ nounced that Secretary of State Cyrus Vance will meet Israeli Foreign Minister Yigal Allon in London May 11 to bring him up to date on the President's discussions with Arab leaders.
Carter's words after the conclusion of his talks with

Hussein somewhat echoed his words when he welcomed the monarch on the White House lawn April 25. "This year 1977 is a special time," the President said. "We face possible opportunities for major strides; toward per¬ manent peace in the Middle East. It will be a mistake to be too optimistic because of i the serious nature of divisions that, have long separated one people from the other in the Eastern Mediterranean!"
Newsmen . immediately reported that the President sounded more pessimistic than he had in the past about the chances for a Mideast settlement. This in-, terpretation was
acknowledged later in the day by White House Press Secretary Jody Powell who said "It will be a mistake to read into the" remarks this morning that there is a change of feeling.1"
After Carter's statement to newsmen April 26, the State Department stressed .&eJtf^aa§£§till extremely interested" in a ^Geneva conference. A Department' spokesman emphasized that "at this moment the U.S. government is in no way backing away from its strong commitment to a major effort to reconvene the Geneva conference in the latter half of this year. The president's meetings with all
the Middle East leaders have underlined our determination on this score."
This was underlined in a message Carter sent to the American-Israel Public " Affairs Committee (AIPAC) which was holding its 18th annual policy conference coincidentally as .the President was meeting with Hussein. Carter said he will be "devoting much of my personal energies over the next year to assist Israel and her Arab neighbors" reach a peace settlement. ' He stressed that this will require "the wholehearted support of all our citizens and, in • particular, of Americans like you for whom peace in the Middle East is such* a special *' priority." He described AIPAC as "a powerful force in shaping of public opinion in our country."
The Palestinian question loomed large in the Carter- Hussein talks. However, neither' Carter nor Hussein mentioned.Palestine or the Palestinians in their public"*"""" remarks', during the welcoming ceremony. But , after the two days of talks were concluded newsmen asked the President to clarify whether Palestine Liberation Organization representatives or non-PLO Palestinians would par-
